      I support everyone’s right to complain about tech industry stuff. Epic’s store, with exclusive games and a spartan feature set, is a fine target for ire. But please help separate facts and opinions from the lies about spyware and foreign control.https://www.usgamer.net/articles/the-epic-games-store-is-spyware-how-a-toxic-accusation-was-started-by-anti-chinese-sentiment …

      I’m the controlling shareholder in Epic Games, and have been since 1991. We have a number of outside investors now. Tencent is the largest. All of Epic’s investors our friends and partners. None can dictate decisions to Epic. None have access to Epic customer data.

      Tencent is a Chinese company founded in 1998. CEO Pony Ma and the other co-founders played a lot of Unreal Tournament back then, and visited Epic in the early 2000’s. In 2012 Epic was looking to move to online games, and we invited Tencent in as an investor to help us.

      I’ve never regretted it, and the recent anti-China rage doesn’t change that even slightly, as its completely unfounded. Epic has only had positive interactions with Tencent at all levels.

      All of Epic’s big decisions are made here in the USA and as CEO I’m 100% responsible for them. I’m grateful for everyone who has spoken in support. I also read and respectfully consider all dissenting arguments of fact and principle. Just please keep it real.

      So now you bought yourself some big fishes (borderlands3...), when will you start working on features for the launcher? Will the launcher get some new stuff until it comes out?

      We’ve never signed a permanent distribution exclusivity, and as far as I can tell from talking to the store team folks who are in the office, we’ve never proposed a permanent store distribution agreement.

          This would not apply to games Epic publishes ourselves, which are presumably permanently exclusive. One final point; these contracts are exclusives or co-exclusives (sometimes alongside Uplay or Windows Store) and are never of the form “you can distribute anywhere but store X”.

          Will you add another payment method like gift cards to your store? because a lot of people don't have credit card

          Well, there are rumors that RDR2 will be EGS permanent exclusive.
